DD/DDA Challenge and Colour Challenge Cards

Good Morning!I have a lot to share today and I still have no battery/cord for my laptop...so this will be super duper fast....I'll apologize in advance if I have missed anything or have typos ;)It's the 20th of the month which means it's time for another Dirty Dozen Challenge.This month Christine is our hostess and she's given us these rules:It's all about H2OChallenge Focus:Create a project that has something to do with water, it can be in your stamps, paper, or embellishments. But lets celebrate the happiness of warm weather and refreshing water. Let us know the story behind it too!

Required Element: Watercoloring! If we're doing a water themed project there needs to be some element of watercoloring on your creation. Restricted Element:If it's H2O that means the two in the equation restricts you to only two embellishments. For example, ribbon and piercing, primas and brads. Focal image shapes like nesties or sizzix die cuts don't count. Let's see how creative you can be with just 2 embellishments girls!I've decided to make two cards! My first one is an All That Scraps image called Sugarplum Emma. My embellishments are primas and brads ;)

Wow, girl, these are all AWESOME!!!! The image in the first card is sooo precious and so beautifully colord as is the little tug boat!!! Everytime I see this little boat I think of you! Your color challenge card is lovely, too...you did a fabulous job on those flowers!!!!

GREAT cards, girl! Heee, love that you used the sugarplum image with the itsy bitsy teeny weeny sentiment...totally cute for the DD/DDA challenge. Love your popped up clouds on the Boatloads card (and it's totally cute..not what you called it in your email..oye!..what am I going to do with you).

Whoo boy, where do I start?! These are all awesome, Dawn! Love how you highlighted the sentiment in the first card; love the popped up clouds in the second; and the fab use of those colours in the third! They freaked me out too ... see you later!
